    That's fine if you aren't subject to dispatch to Canada, and don't ever enter US military bases.

    Go to New Jersey and stop at any police station and ask that question. I bet you will find them very unfriendly to any gun yo bring into the state. NYC may be the other place where it is not welcomed.

    NJ is mandatory prison for having a firearm in your vehicle. Its not a quick visit to jail either...you will do YEARS in Oz getting your pooter lapped by "Big Bear."

    That still doesn't make it a "FEDERAL" law. States and cities have their own laws which is why most say not to carry. To each his own is all I say.

    I carry in every state I go to even military bases my paper work is always in order and never given a reason to get searched I have even carried into Canada so I really don't see where people are having issues unless you never done it and know someone who did it the rumor mill is just going speak from experience

    It's illegal, and happens to be a felony to bring a weapon on a US military base. It will get you thrown in jail in Canada... without question. Y'all have fun doing that, hear?

    I was taught that when you walk through the woods,you carry bear spray and wear little bells.
    My grandfather also taught me how to tell the difference between black and grizzly bears
    He told me to look at their crap. grizzly bear crap smells like Mace and has little bells in it.

    Man another sheep led to believe what its told. No, its not illegal. It is just that simple. I live here in one of the two most restrictive states on "guns". Yes it can be done legally.

    I would imagine letting loose a can of bear spray inside the cab of a truck is going to give YOU just a bad a day as your assailant. wouldn't one of those things would fill the entire cab with a cloud of choking blinding mace.
